Really liked the boat ride and the sights that were visible. To improve - I thought that the narration could be better timed with the scenery (it seemed that something times the narration was up to a minute ahead or behind. Made it hard to precisely pair the narration with the site being described. Also, the narration could have been more clear on “look to the right” or “look to the left.” Again, objective should be to help pair the narration with what is being described. Thank you !!
